This test shot was taken of about 100 pictures (in JPG mode, not RAW) though I screwed up and due to not taking enough pictures, is really composed of only about 40. Each was shot at f/1.2 (manual focus) from the same point, and merged in autostitch, simulating something like a 18mm f/0.5 or something similarly crazy. I have no idea on the math, but that’s just not possible with a wide angle — wide angle lenses just get horribly wide depth of field because of, well, physics. Further, there’s no way the glass in those is anywhere as good as the 85mm f/1.2 — hardly anything is. I need to try some more of this later, but I see much potential in it. Shooting panoramas with this camera is much much easier than with the infared camera or point-and-shoot, since the shutter is a LOT faster. I think this is more interesting than normal wide angles, and ends up being cheaper as well!
